Book of Mormon Musical

With the storms and power outages, this one was kind of rushed. Sorry!

So, I was gonna do a whole write-up about the new Book of Mormon Musical, and replace all references of Mormons, the Book of Mormon, and such with references to Muslims, Islam, and the Qur'an. I wanted to point out that if the musical had been about Islam, satirizing Muslims and Mohammed , the world would have been in flames. Likely there would have been riots, flag burnings, and public backlash here in the USA. But, thankfully(?), the musical is about Mormons, who would have no such reactions. By the way, why is it tolerable for the so-named "religion of peace" to act in such a way, but not for any others? Kind of a double standard. NOTE: I understand that not all Muslims are the same, I am in no way trying to generalize, just make a point. Anyways, yeah, scratch that. Instead, let me just post the LDS Church's response, which I think was perfect.

In response to news media requests, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued the following statement regarding the Broadway musical entitled The Book of Mormon:

"The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ."

Yup, pretty spot on. Also, they have started a pretty heavy advertising campaign in New York City.

I believe that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It was saved for these last days, and provides us with more proof of Heavenly Father's love for ALL of his children, and proves that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Revelation never ends.

Once again, if you're going to, please flame responsibly, but first, watch this:
